Framing WTL, by Pipes on Jul 17, 2013 1:43:25 GMT 1, Trying to decide what framing to get on my WTL.
Scouring the web and forum I've found 3 options which caught my eye, all of which look good.
Whilst ultimately its me thats gonna have to live with it on my wall - just wondering which of the below people thought was best?
Black chunky frame
White mount, white frame
Brown wooden, float mounted
Opinions appreciated ....and thanks to anyone on forum who's images I may have stolen

Framing WTL, by jusdeep on Jul 17, 2013 6:35:06 GMT 1, For me it would be the bottom one every time, although could possibly do something similar with a mount or not box framed. It's a large print and over time, changes in heat and humidity could become quite wavy float-mounted.
Top one in the black/dark wood frame is a little too over-baring for my tastes and the white just doesn't work imo. Mine is framed similarly to the bottom with a natural, uncoated dark wood frame and double off-white mount. I would also advise that if possible go for the more costly option of non-reflective glass as there's a lot of glass and you will notice the reflections a lot more.

There are many types of uv non-reflective glass and perspex. Usually they have a higher uv factor; but generally only a few % difference up or down.
